This image shows Butter chicken curry along with Naan Bread. Butter chicken is a traditional Indian Chicken Curry cooked in creamy rich sauce made with cashews, almonds, tomatoes and butter. Naan Bread is a leavened, oven-baked flatbread found in the cuisines mainly in India. Food is important to our culture because that is a time when family and friends can come together and share some quality time together. A meal is taken very seriously and usually all of the family members are required to eat together. This makes sure that there is time set aside each day for the family to talk to one another. Eating this food shows cultural identity because it is something that everyone shares. Indian people that live in America show the cultural reaffirmation effect because they want to show their traditional values more by eating their home countries food which in this case would be butter chicken and naan.
